Obama gets his opening grade (Gallup poll)
politico.com ^ | January 24, 2009 | MIKE ALLEN

Posted on 01/24/2009 12:08:20 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

The Gallup Poll on Saturday released the first job-approval rating for President Obama, based on interviews during his first three full days in office: 68 percent.

Now that he’s in office, Obama’s approval ratings are starting to normalize, as partisan back-and-forth picks up. Just a week ago, Gallup found an astonishing 83 percent approval of how he has handled his transition, showing he had even won over most Republicans.

The new job-approval figure puts him at the upper end of opening poll numbers for presidents, but doesn’t set a record

Obama's agenda this week:

1.) Set free islamic terrorists from their prison cells.

2.) Murder unborn babies by any means necessary.

3.) Make veiled threats at Rush Limbaugh and other folks who question his policies.

4.) Stop all plans to drill for oil offshore.

5.) Freeze any ideas for tax-cuts.

6.) Propose giving taxpayer dollars to people who don't even pay taxes.

And this sewer rat has an approval rating of 68%????

Has our Republic become a larger version of Jonestown, or what?!?!

Until Inauguration Day, Obama was President of the United States of Imagination. You can never live up to that in the Real World.

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
My sweet imagination
Everything looks WORSE in black and white

Paul Simon, Kodachorome

Article at Gallup:

Obama Starts With 68% Job Approval

http://www.gallup.com/poll/113962/Obama-Starts-Job-Approval.aspx

Obama unilaterally disarms us in the War on Terror, and 68% approve, only 12% disapprove, and 21% have no opinion.

The only explanation is that everyone has gone insane and only 12% somehow have immunity to this obamanitis, a new, dangerous, and contagious disease.

Let’s open up some betting lines.
Time till the approval ratings drop below the equator: Over/Under 6 months
Time till he plays the race card to explain his approval ratings: Over/Under 1 year

Rush needs to invite Zero to call in like Pres. Bush and VP Cheney. I bet he will never do it. He couldn’t go up against Rush and win.

When you look at these polls, keep in mind the recent ‘man on the street interviews’(ala Howard Stern), in which the interviewees were asked if they thought Marion Barry had been a good choice for Secretary of State and all said yes!

Lies and more lies. He wasn’t responsible for the transition(he was too busy creating his own mini government).

It was W’s team who were most responsible for the easy transition (into hell, I might add).

It's going to be interesting to see how he responds to ratings.

If he's the malignant narcissist many (including me) think he is, the (any) negative ratings are really gonna p!ss him off.

Maybe that 21% know that a visit from President Obama’s National Citizen Defense Corps is in the future. I don't doubt that Gallup or any other polling firm would turn over names, phone numbers and addresses of “Obama deniers” to this regime, do you?
